Fashion jewelry, including rings, even if high quality will never be as durable and long lasting as fine jewelry. However wearing costume jewelry allows you to follow fashions without costing a fortune. Even expensive fine jewelry won’t last forever without the proper care and attention.
Proper care will prolong the life of your jewelry. Keep jewelry away from chemicals, lotions, water and perfume as much as possible to prolong the life of your fashion jewelry. Also avoid soap and water as most soap will leave a residue, which can make the metal look dull.
Here are some tips for storing.
1) Moisture is the most important thing to avoid and can destroy the metals.
Store in a soft jewelry pouch or plastic Ziploc bag.
2) Avoid temperature changes as this can affect stone settings and the glue
used.
3) Store separately from other items to avoid scratching and stones getting
dislodged.
4) Avoid Oak boxes and cabinets as this wood can release fumes that can
damage fashion jewelry.
Following the above advice will greatly prolong the luster and life of your fashion jewelry and rings.
